▼ Background: The transmission of malaria and schistosomiasis is increased following agricultural irrigation development. However, assessing the prevalence of these diseases before the construction of irrigation project is limited. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess malaria and schistosomiasis prevalence at Koga irrigation scheme in Mecha woreda of West Gojjam Zone, Amhara region, Ethiopia Methods: A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted from March 20 to April 21, 2007 in four villages along the Koga irrigation scheme in West Gojjam Zone. Blood films and stool specimens were collected from 318 randomly selected study participants and examined for infection of malaria and intestinal parasites, respectively. Results: Of 318 stool specimens examined 90 (28.3 %) were positive for intestinal parasites. Of the parasites, 60 (18 %) were hookworm, 27 (8.5 %) were Ascaris lumbricoides and 3 (0.9 %) were Enterobius vermicularis. Schistoma mansoni is not identified in the stool of our study subjects. Of the 318 people for whom blood smear examination was done, 30 (9.5%) were positive for malaria parasitaemia. The over all prevalence of parasitemia was moderate and 0.3% for children under the age of five years, and increased up to 3.5% in the age group 5-9 years, and then, 5.6 % in those above the age of 10 years. Plasmodium vivax was the predominant species, accounting for 60 %( n=18), and the remaining 40% (n=12) were due to Plasmodium falciparum. Regarding environmental sanitation of the study households, 270 (84.9%) had no latrine and only 48 (15.1%) had latrine. Most of the households utilized traditional wells as a water source (61%). Conclusion: Schstosoma mansoni has not yet established prior to the initiation of the irrigation development. However, malaria is endemic to the area and hence, attention is needed to the future Koga irrigation scheme for effective prevention and control of the disease. Moreover, increasing awareness of the population about schistosomiasis is paramount. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Wakgari Deressa (advisor).

▼ This study was carried out at the Middle Zambezi basin in Lusaka province to determine freshwater snail diversity, its relationship to the presence of schistosomiasis and the impact of prevailing environmental factors on snail diversity. The study was carried out during the cool-dry season (July), hot-dry season (October) and hot-wet season (February), from July 2006 to February 2007. Twenty 400 metre transects were established on three rivers, ten streams and one reservoir. Snails were sampled every four metres on each transect using a scoop net. Each transect was divided into five 80 metre segments. Environmental data consisting of physical, chemical and biotic data was obtained at the mid point of every segment. Physical data collected consisted of water depth, temperature and velocity. Chemical data collected consisted of conductivity, pH and calcium concentration. Biological data collected was vegetation by type and genera, and phytoplankton diversity. Fifteen species of freshwater snails were collected from the study area. Pulmonate species consisted of Bulinus globosus, Bulinus forskalli, Bulinus canescens, Biomphalaria pfeifferi, Segmentorbis angustus, Gyraulus costulatus, Lymnaea natalensis, Physa acuta and Ferrissia burnupi burnupi. The prosobranch species consisted of Bellamya cappillata, Cleopatra nsendwensis, Gabbiella kisalensis, Gabbiella sp, Lanistes ovum and Melanoides tuberculata. Linear regression was used to determine the relationship between snail diversity (species richness) and the number of infected children at the schools in close proximity to the water sampling points. There was a significant relationship between snail diversity (in the presence of the intermediate snail host) and schistosomiasis prevalence. Snail diversity explained 62% of the variance in schistosomiasis prevalence. Results of the study demonstrated that in the presence of high species diversity of snails, transmission of Schistosoma haematobhim is lower. Multiple regression analysis (Best Sub Set) revealed that water velocity was the most important factor affecting snail diversity in the rivers, while conductivity was the most important factor in the streams. Snail diversity was significantly different among the different vegetation types. All the floating vegetation types were associated with higher snail diversity whereas Phytoplankton diversity was not significantly associated with snail diversity.

▼ Chronic schistosomiasis presents with either a moderate or a severe form, termed intestinal (INT) or hepatosplenic (HS) schistosomiasis, respectively. The Schistosoma mansoni-associated hepatomegaly is estimated in 8.5 million people and ultimately results from liver granulomas induced by trapped parasitic eggs. The CBA/J mouse model replicates these two human disease forms and was used to understand the progressive pathology that leads to HS and to identify potential biomarkers. In this model 20% of infected mice spontaneously develop hypersplenomegaly syndrome (HSS) by 20 weeks of infection while the remaining 80% develop moderate splenomegaly syndrome (MSS). Using this model, we compared the liver protein patterns of control mice and mice infected for 6, 8, 12, or 20 (MSS and HSS) weeks. Two-dimensional differential in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) was used to identify protein pattern variations and protein spots were identified using matrix adsorption laser desorption ionisation-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. In the first experiment, we found 124 protein spot unique changes for MSS and HSS compared to control mice of which 80 were identified and 35 changes were specific for HSS. In the second experiment, comparison between various time points with control mice revealed 76 significant protein spot changes of which 44 were identified using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Importantly, we found that the abundance of liver keratin D, transferrin isoforms, collagen isoforms, hydroxyproline and Schistosoma mansoni-phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase increased while epoxide hydrolase isoforms, peroxiredoxin 6 and major urinary protein (MUP) isoforms decreased significantly with infection. To verify the changes in the liver 2D-DIGE analysis, candidate liver protein markers were measured in mouse serum using targeted biochemical assays. The mouse serum analysis showed MUP levels were decreased, while transferrin, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), keratin D, hydroxyproline were increased in HSS mice compared to control mice or MSS mice supporting the liver 2D-DIGE analysis. Using targeted assays, serum samples from INT and HS patients were tested for the candidate liver protein markers: keratin D, CTGF, hydroxyproline and transferrin. The human serum analysis showed keratin D levels increased for HS compared to INT and normal sera. The CTGF levels were high in INT compared to HS and normal sera, while transferrin remained unchanged in INT and HS similar to normal sera. Additionally, in severe HS disease, serum hydroxyproline emerged as a strong indicator of fibrosis. We believe that these findings will have direct value in the development of diagnostic tools for early detection of hepatosplenic schistosomiasis in humans.

▼ Introduction: Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease, often endemic in areas with poor sanitation, is known to cause physical and mental defects in children and adults alike. Consequently, a number of strategies with much emphasis on drug administration for morbidity control have been put in place to combat schistosomiasis in Ghana and the world at large. Unfortunately, children under six years have been excluded from chemotherapy for several years and it is in recent times that the WHO has begun putting measures in place to correct this lapse. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of schistosomiasis among children under six years in two communities along the Weija Lake, and identify risk factors that predispose them to Schistosoma infections. Methodology: A cross-sectional study involving the collection of stool and urine samples from 186 children below age six, in two communities along the Weija Lake was done using convenient sampling. Urine chemistry and parasitological methods, involving Kato Katz and 10ml urine filtration were used to analyse samples for parasite eggs. Microscopic examination of parasite eggs was done to detect infection state and determine the prevalence of Schistosoma infections in these children respectively. Questions were developed to help detect risk factors that expose these children to the disease. Results: The average prevalence of schistosomiasis in the two communities studied was 7.9%. Average prevalence of S. mansoni was 9.2% in the communities; 10.5% in Tomefa and 7.5% in Manheam. Tomefa recorded only 1 (1.43%) S. haematobium and 6 (10.53%) S. mansoni infections, where as Manheam had 3 (7.50%) S. mansoni infections with no record of S. haematobium infection. Risk factors or determinants of infection included zone of community lived in and nearness to the waterbody. Conclusion: Schistosoma infections were established in children under six years in Manheam and Tomefa. Schistosoma mansoni infection was more prevalent compared to S. haematobium.

▼ Intestinal Schistosomiasis (SCH) and Soil Transmitted Helminithiasis (STH) are among the major public health problems in the world, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. About 2 billion people are affected and that 300 million are ill as a result of these infections, the majority being children. In developing countries like Tanzania, poverty, poor nutrition, inadequate sanitation, lack of clean drinking-water and minimal health care makes the situation worse. The highest rates of infection are often in school aged children (5-15 years). This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and risk factors of intestinal SCH and STH and their association to nutritional status among school going children in Kilombero District of Tanzania. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 403 school going children in Kilombero district, Tanzania. A structured questionnaire was used to collect demographic information and risk factors. Stool samples were collected and analyzed for worm eggs using Kato-Katz technique for quantification of the eggs. Anthropometric data were collected and entered into the WHO AnthroPlus program to obtain nutritional status based on Z-scores while demographic information and risk factors were entered in an excel data sheet. Data was analyzing in STATA. Chi-square or F-test was used where appropriate to measure the association of hookworm worm infections and risk factors, also association of demographic information and nutritional status. Furthermore, simple logistic regression was used to measure the strength of association. The prevalence of hookworm infection, wasting, underweight and stunting was 1.5%, 16.8%, 24.2% and 46.1% respectively. Eggs of Schistosoma mansoni, Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris lumbricoides were not detected. Children without toilets at their homes were 7.3 times more likely to be infected with hookworm than those with toilets (OR = 7.3, 95% CI = 1.4 - 37.1, p = 0.017), also participants who had not received anthelminthitic drugs (Albendazole, Mebendazole, Praziquantel or Ivermectin) in the last Mass Drug Administration were 7.6 times more likey to be infected with hookworm than those who received (OR = 7.6, 95% CI = 1.5-38.9, p = 0.015). Males had 2.43 times higher odds of stunting than girls (OR = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.63-3.65, p < 0.001), however children aged from 5-9 years had 0.32 times less odds of stunting than children 10-15 years (OR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.19-0.51), p < 0.001). There is a substantially low prevalence of intestinal SCH and STH (predominantly hookworms), and therefore they do not have a public health impact in school going children in the study area. The observed high prevalence rates of under nutrition (stunting, underweight and wasting) may not be associated with helminths infection, signifying that it could be allied with other factors not investigated in this study such as malnutrition.

▼ Fascioliasis y schistosomiasis son dos de las enfermedades parasitarias englobadas dentro del grupo de las “enfermedades tropicales desatendidas”, la importancia de las cuales recae en el hecho de ser muy poco prioritarias en los programas nacionales de salud. Se asocian principalmente a la pobreza causando discapacidades graves y deficiencias de por vida que suponen una enorme carga económica para los países endémicos. Por un lado, la fascioliasis es la enfermedad parasitaria de origen vectorial que presenta la más amplia distribución latitudinal, longitudinal y altitudinal conocida a nivel mundial, constituyendo un importante problema de salud pública. Se estima que existen 2,4 millones y hasta 17 millones de personas afectadas y es transmitida por moluscos gasterópodos de la familia Lymnaeidae. Por otro lado, la schistosomiasis es la segunda enfermedad en importancia de la humanidad después de la malaria a nivel socioeconómico y de salud pública, que es transmitida por moluscos vectores de la familia Planorbidae. Dadas las circunstancias y la situación actual para ambas enfermedades, el interés de los estudios realizados en el presente trabajo se centró en el análisis, bajo condiciones estándar de laboratorio, de distintos aspectos de la biología de las especies de moluscos vectores seleccionadas. Así pues, el estudio de la dinámica de crecimiento, de la capacidad y características de autofecundación, y de la susceptibilidad frente a la infección con cepas de Fasciola y Schistosoma, permitieron ampliar el conocimiento de la biología de los moluscos vectores.

▼ Schistosoma haematobium infection or schistosomiasis haematobia or urinary schistosomiasis is the most common form of schistosomiasis affecting more than 60 million people in 46 sub-Saharan Africa countries. Symptoms and signs include chronic pain, anaemia, inflammation, haematuria, fibrosis and calcification of the bladder and the urinary and genital tracts, and ultimately bladder cancer. The disease is spreading as a result of increase in irrigation and water impoundment schemes that favours colonization by Bulinus spp. snail vectors. Treatment with praziquantel can prevent the development of chronic morbidity and forms the basis of the WHO-recommended preventive chemotherapy strategy for control of schistosomiasis. With this strategy, populations groups at-risk, especially school-age children, are treated at regular intervals, at frequencies determined by the levels of disease transmission. Treatment activities are usually carried out in schools which provide easy access to school-age children; nonenrolled school-age children, which can be many especially in rural areas, might however be left untreated. Issues of costs, manpower, expertise and the vast geographical areas have limited the implementation of disease control interventions in many countries to either small-scale or pilot projects. Most intervention programmes have also lacked a monitoring and evaluation framework which is key to achieving sustainability of control programmes. Thus most studies have reported on performance and impact extrapolated from results of small scale interventions. In 2003 the Ministry of Health of Burkina Faso opted to implement a nation-wide intervention to cover all school-age children irrespective of educational status, with support from the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative-Imperial College London, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This decision offered the opportunity, and the subject of thesis, to investigate the performance and impact of a nation-wide programme relying on large-scale administration of praziquantel to control urinary schistosomiasis. A characteristic of this programme was its coordination by the Ministry of Health and use of only local human resources for its implementation that combined both school-based and community-based channels. The programme targeted each child eligible for treatment within a timeframe of 12 months during 2004-2005 in all 13 administrative regions of Burkina Faso. The present study investigated the programme's performance in terms of coverage and costs, and measured infection and morbidity indicators to determine its impact using both longitudinal cohorts and cross-sectional studies. Children aged 6-14 years were randomly selected from 16 sentinel schools in four regions located in the different ecological areas of Burkina Faso and were recruited into the longitudinal cohort at baseline, approximately six months before treatment. Infection indicators such as prevalence, intensity of infection and the proportion of heavy-intensity…

▼ Female genitourinary schistosomiasis (FGS) has been associated with increased HIV susceptibility, presumably through lesions secondary to parasitic eggs in situ in the female genital tract. We determined the prevalence of FGS infection by real-time PCR (indicative of local involvement of parasitic eggs in the genital mucosae) and sero-prevalence of schistosomiasis (indicating prior exposure to parasitic infection) in HIV-uninfected KZN women (n=383) who had participated in the CAPRISA004 trial. The hypothesis for this study was that FGS, and genital tract inflammation are risk factors for HIV-acquisition. DNA PCR was used to confirm the presence of FGS, ELISAs were used for detection of Schistosoma spp IgG and multiplex technology was used to detect genital tract cytokines in the cervicovaginal lavages (CVLs). The median age of the women in this study was 23 years (range 20-26 years). Of the 383 HIV negative women, 52/383 (13.8%) became HIV-infected by study exit with an HIV incidence rate of 9.1 per 100 women-years ( 95% CI: 6.8 – 11.9). Nine of 383 (2.3%) women had a positive DNA PCR for Schistosoma spp indicative of prevalent genital schistosomiasis. Of these 9 women, 4/9 (44%) acquired HIV infection by study exit with a 4.0 times increased risk for HIV-infection (OR of 4.05- 95% CI 1.8-8.9, p=0.01) than PCR-negative women. Schistosoma haematobium, the endemic species in KZN has high sequence homology with S. mansoni antigen which was used to detect IgG in the plasma samples. Of the 383 plasma samples from study entry, 21/383 (5.5%) and 19/383 (4.96%) of study participants had detectable levels of IgG to S. mansoni at study exit. . Only, MCP-3, a chemokine was significantly higher in FGS+ compared to FGS- healthy HIV negative women. Genital tract pro-inflammatory cytokines at study exit were significantly higher in FGS-HIV+ women for IL-1β, MIF, IL-1A & IL-6 compared to FGS-HIV- women (p<0.0001, p=0.0014, p=0.0088, p=0.0069 respectively). Anti-inflammatory cytokine data in FGS-HIV+ women showed higher median levels of IL-1RA & IL-2RA compared to FGS –HIV- women (p<0.0001 & p=0.0012 respectively). Mixed responses of both pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the presence or absence of FGS may be an indication that HIV infection is driving these signatures and causing dysregulation. The presence of parasite DNA in the genital tract was significantly associated with increased risk for HIV acquistion. Taken together, these results highlight the importance of understanding the complex interplay of parasitic infections, and host immunity as potential risk factors for HIV acquistion in regions with high HIV and parasite burden.

▼ Schistosomiasis is a major parasitic disease caused by parasitic helminths of the genus Schistosoma which affects children in Africa, with negative impacts on general health, growth and cognitive development. Infection and morbidity are controlled by treatment with the antihelminthic drug praziquantel. Preschool children (aged ≤5 years old) have been neglected both in terms of research and control, and it is only recently that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended praziquantel treatment and the inclusion of preschool children in control programmes. However, the burden of disease in this age group still remains poorly understood, and the performance of the currently available tools for detecting infection and morbidity is still yet to be systematically evaluated. The aim of this thesis was to compare the utility of currently available tools for diagnosing S. haematobium infection and related morbidity. The initial study cohort consisted of 438 Zimbabwean children (age range: 1-10 years) who were endemically exposed. Point-of-care schistosome-related morbidity markers applicable in the field, as well as serological biomarkers (CHI3L1, CRP, ferritin, resistin and SLPI) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13 and IFN-γ) that could predict early stages of immune-mediated pathology due to schistosomiasis were measured. Using a combination of applied statistical methods, the effect of treatment on factors associated with S. haematobium exposure, infection and morbidity in children aged 1-5 years was determined and the findings compared with those observed in children aged between 6-10 years old, who are the current targets of the schistosome control programmes. In this thesis, I able to demonstrate that preschool children carried significant infection, further reiterating the need for their inclusion in control programmes. Furthermore, this study demonstrated the importance of using additional sensitive diagnostic methods as this has implications on the required intervention strategies for the targeted populations. This study further revealed that preschool children can be effectively screened for schistosome-related morbidity using the same currently available diagnostic tools applicable to older children. Urinalysis markers microhaematuria, proteinuria and albuminuria are recommended in this thesis as the best choice for rapid assessment of morbidity attributed to S. haematobium infection in the field. Additionally, it was shown that the praziquantel treatment regimens aimed at controlling schistosome infection and morbidity currently designated for primary school-aged children and older populations are applicable to preschool-aged children. The involvement of serum biomarkers and immune correlates in the biological processes of inflammation suggests that these markers can be potential early predictors of schistosome-related pathology. Further research efforts are required to establish the relationship between these biomarkers and presence of schistosome-related morbidity as measured using…

▼ Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) and schistosomes are the major public health problems in the vast majority of developing countries including Ethiopia. Both helminthic groups are known to significantly contribute to anaemia. This study was aimed to assess the effect of intestinal helminth infections and deworming to anaemia among school children. A cross-sectional study was carried out and 403 school children were selected using systematic random sampling technique from Tikur Wuha Elementary School, Jiga, Northwestern Ethiopia from February - March, 2011. Stool samples were processed for microscopic examinations using double Kato- Katz and average fecal egg counts were used. Hemoglobin was determined using Hemocue HB 201 analyzer. Data was analyzed using the statistical package for social science (SPSS). The overall prevalence of STHs and schistosome infections among the school children was 58. 31%. Single, double, triple and quadruple infections were 41.19%, 15.38%, 1.49 and 0.25%, respectively. The prevalence of hookworm, Schistosoma mansoni, Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Enterobius vermicularis, and Hymenolepis nana infections were 46.90%, 24.57%, 4.22%, 1.74%, 0.5% and 1.24%, respectively. The current study showed that intestinal helminth infections particularly hookworm and S. mansoni were positively associated with anaemia (P < 0.05). The overall pre-treatment prevalence of anaemia was 14.64%, while anaemia associated with intestinal helminth infections was found to be 11.91%. After deworming, there was a rise in the mean hemoglobin of school children from 12.73±1.18 pretreatment level to 13.96±1.21 g/dl post-treatment level (P= 0.000). The result revealed that following deworming, prevalence of both intestinal helminth infections and anaemia associated with intestinal helminth infections were reduced from 58.31% to 12.41% and 11.91% to 8.44%, respectively. The present study showed that deworming as part of helminth control decreases intestinal helminth infections and improves hemoglobin concentration among school children. Deworming program should be included as a strategy for the control of anaemia in school children where there is high prevalence of intestinal helminth infections.

▼ Background: In Africa, different studies have been conducted on schistosomiasis, one of the most devastating parasitic diseases in tropical countries. However, environmental determinants have not fully been explored as important means of additional strategies for prevention and control of the disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review environmental determinants that are associated with schistosomiasis prevalence in Africa. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching Pubmed, Embase and Google scholar for articles published between 2000 and April 2014. A total of 492 articles were retrieved. The inclusion and exclusion criteria was directed by the suitability of the title, the year and the continent the study was conducted, duplication and related outcome. Twenty four cross sectional studies met the inclusion criteria. Evaluation of each article’s findings was conducted based on the study design, selection of participants, measurement of exposures and outcomes. A data capturing spreadsheet was created in Excel and used for data abstraction. Study details were then transferred to Review Manager 5 Meta analytical package for further processing. Results: The results obtained indicated that of the 6634 infected participants in twenty four studies conducted in ten countries, males were at 59% and females were at 41% showing that males were more likely to be infected by schistosomiasis than females. Schistosomiasis prevalence was also found to be more among participants living closer to rivers/streams and ponds emphasizing the fact that water bodies were the leading environmental determinant to schistosomiasis prevalence. Although Anto et al. (2013) and Sammy (2013) found strong associations between schistosomiasis prevalence and wet farming and fishing, when read together with other studies, this environmental determinant was insignificant showing that it has a low contribution to the prevalence. Unsafe water and sanitation alone had no direct association with schistosomiasis prevalence. Conclusion and Recommendations: Findings of this study suggest that living close to water bodies is associated with schistosomiasis prevalence while wet farming and fishing has a low part to play. This study suggests that use of rivers and streams increases exposure to schistosomisis. Urgent interventions that focus on behavior and attitude change and provision of safe water as well as good sanitation to reduce usage of rivers/streams are therefore needed.

▼ G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest known superfamily of integral membrane proteins, and represent a particularly lucrative set of chemotherapeutic targets. These seven transmembrane receptors play a central role in eukaryotic signal transduction and physiology, mediating cellular responses to a diverse range of extracellular stimuli. The phylum Platyhelminthes is of considerable medical and biological importance, housing prominent human pathogens as well as established model organisms in the realm of developmental and stem cell biology. There exists ample motivation to elucidate the structural and functional properties of GPCRs in this phylum. The availability of whole genome sequence data for the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni and the model planarian Schmidtea mediterranea paves the way for the first genome-wide analyses of platyhelminth GPCRs. Extensive efforts were made to delineate the receptor complements of these organisms. Further work primarily focuses on validation of a novel method for elucidating receptor function in the native cell membrane environment. Together, these genomic and functional data improve our understanding of basic platyhelminth receptor biology and shed light on a promising set of anthelmintic drug targets. Application of a transmembrane-focused it in silico protocol led to the discovery of 116 S. mansoni and 333 S. mediterranea GPCRs, followed by extensive curation of underlying gene models. Phylogenetic analysis of the resulting dataset confirmed the presence of the primary metazoan GRAFS families and revealed novel lineage-specific receptor groupings, including a large platyhelminth-specific Rhodopsin-like subfamily (PROF1) and a planarian-specific Adhesion-like family (PARF1). Support vector machines (SVMs) were trained and used for ligand-based classification of full-length Rhodopsin GPCRs, complementing phylogenetic and homology-based classification. PROF1 receptors were further revealed as neuronally-expressed endoGPCRs via whole mount in situ hybridization. In light of the unreliable nature of heterologous approaches to GPCR deorphanization, a novel loss-of-function assay was developed for ascertaining the ligand and G protein coupling properties of GPCRs in their native cell membrane environment. RNA interference (RNAi) was used in conjunction with a cAMP radioimmunoassay (RIA) to monitor second messenger modulation in response to the translational suppression of individual receptors. This strategy was applied to the deorphanization of both neuropeptide and aminergic GPCRs, allowing for the determination of Gαs and Gαi/o-mediated signaling. Loss-of-function phenotypic assays were performed in parallel. While these results establish the potential of this approach, future work can lead to further optimizations and the eventual adaptation of this protocol to higher-throughput platforms.

▼ Background and objectives: Urogenital schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasite Schistosoma haematobium, which is receiving increased attention, due to its reported association with diseases such as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, genital cancers, sexually transmitted diseases and liver diseases. Symptoms of urogenital schistosomiasis include haematuria, frequent urination, tiredness and a decrease in the cognitive ability of children. The prevalence of S. haematobium infection needs to be known and mass treatment programmes against the disease implemented. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and intensity of S. haematobium infection. The objectives were to determine the prevalence and intensity of S. haematobium among school going children in ILembe and uThungulu Health Districts of KwaZulu-Natal province, to determine if there is an association between school location, sex, altitude, temperature and the prevalence of schistosomiasis and to assess the need for mass treatment campaigns. Methods: In this study, 6265urine samples were collected for analysis using dipsticks from boys and girls attending rural public schools in these health districts. The prevalence and intensity of S. haematobium infection was calculated and thereafter associations with temperature, altitude and distance to the nearest river were investigated. Descriptive and analytical statistics were undertaken, the latter using a correlation coefficient and a linear regression (p˂0.05) (Confidence Interval (CI) 95%). Results: The prevalence of schistosomiasis for boys in ILembe was 40% and girls 39% and in uThungulu was 56% and 53% in girls and boys respectively. Most infection was the dominant intensity in both the Districts. There was a significant inverse relationship between prevalence of schistosomiasis and altitude (p˂0.05). Associations between prevalence and distance of school to the nearest river were non-significant, and the average minimum summer temperature also showed a positive relationship but that was non-significant (p˃0.05). Conclusion: In both the Districts, the prevalence fell in the category that is recommended by the World Health Organisation for mass treatment. This information alerts health care workers to take the necessary actions to combat schistosomiasis infection and the transmission of urogenital schistosomiasis by providing mass treatment with praziquantel. Mass treatment in endemic communities impacted by schistosomiasis can significantly reduce the morbidity caused by the disease. Furthermore, treatment at an early age can help avoid complications that would predispose individuals to the risk of HIV. In endemic areas, public education about the disease should be prioritized. Furthermore clean water sources should be provided for communities at risk to prevent reinfection Advisors/Committee Members: Taylor, Mayra. (advisor).

▼ Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) are a superfamily of structurally conserved proteins that are key regulators of proteolysis in plants, animals, and certain viruses. The S. mansoni genome contains eight full-length serpins. Semi-quantitative PCRs performed on S. mansoni cDNA samples verified the transcription of these eight putative serpins. All identified serpin sequences had homology to other members of the serpin family and contained all the structural components needed for functionality. Some schistosome serpins are predicted to be non-inhibitory while others showed clear tryptic or chymotryptic protease specificity. Two of these serpins, SmSrpQ and SmSerp_C, were of particular interest owing to their secretion by the infective larva of S. mansoni. Little published data exists examining the function of SmSrpQ, SmSerp_C, or any other of the schistosome serpin. SmSrpQ and SmSerp_C are only expressed during larval development and, in the case of SmSrpQ, in the early stages of mammalian infection. 35S-SmSrpQ was able to form an SDS-stable complex with a component of the larval lysate but no complex was detected with several mammalian host proteases. Formation of a complex was sensitive to the protease active site inhibitors PMSF, Z-AAPF-CMK, and Z-AAPL-CMK. Similar experiments were carried out with 35S-SmSerp_C, which formed a complex with trypsin, human plasma kallikrein, and a molluscan protease, most likely the tryptases found in the intermediate host of S. mansoni, Biomphalaria glabrata.Invasion by S. mansoni larvae is facilitated by cercarial elastase (SmCE), a serine protease. The band detected between 35S-SmSrpQ and a protease in cercarial lysates was also detected in western blot analysis of parasite lysates. These blots showed that when active SmCE was present, a complex of comparable size to SmCE bound to SmSrpQ was observed. This data, together with the results from immunolocalization of these proteins in the parasite and in simulated infections, suggests that SmSrpQ carefully regulates SmCE degradation of skin tissue during larval invasion.SmSrpQ inhibition of SmCE and SmSerp_C inhibition of kallikrein and a snail protease confirm the inhibitory nature of these serpins and suggests a role in the pathogenesis/ biology of the parasite.

INTRODUÇÃO: A esquistossomose se constitui em grande problema de saúde pública, sendo que estimativas apontam para 200 milhões de pessoas infectadas no mundo. No Brasil atinge 19 unidades federadas, apresentando áreas de alta e média endemicidade e, em uma grande extensão, áreas de baixa endemicidade. O município de Barra Mansa, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, apresenta uma prevalência estimada de 1%. As áreas de baixa endemicidade (ABE) representam um novo desafio para o controle dessa helmintose, pois cerca de 75% dos indivíduos infectados são assintomáticos e cursam com infecções de baixa carga parasitária (<100 ovos por grama de fezes), ocorrendo uma diminuição da sensibilidade das técnicas parasitológicas de fezes, que são referência para o diagnóstico laboratorial dessa helmintose. OBJETIVO: Comparar o desempenho das técnicas de Kato-Katz (KK) e Hoffman, Pons e Janer (HH), do ensaio de ELISA-IgG e ELISA-IgM, da técnica de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI), da técnica de qPCR TaqMan® em amostras de fezes e de soro (qPCR-fezes e qPCR-soro), tendo como referência a Reação Periovular (RPO), por meio de inquérito epidemiológico para obtenção de amostras de fezes e soro de indivíduos randomizados residentes nos bairros de Cantagalo, Nova Esperança, Santa Clara, São Luiz e Siderlândia, Barra Mansa/RJ. MÉTODOS: Estudo de corte transversal, no período de abril a dezembro de 2011, de amostragem probabilística, sendo coletadas 610 amostras de fezes e 612 amostras de soro. As técnicas de investigação diagnóstica laboratorial foram: KK e HH, ELISA-IgG e ELISA-IgM, RIFI-IgM, RPO, qPCR-fezes e qPCR-soro. RESULTADOS: Observaram-se os seguintes resultados, obtidos das diferentes técnicas diagnósticas: KK e HH, 0,8% (n=5); ELISA-IgG, 11,6% (n=71); ELISA-IgM, 21,4% (n=131); RIFI-IgM, 15,8 (n=97); RPO, 5,4% (n=33); qPCR-fezes, 9,8% (n=60); qPCR-soro, 1,5% (n=9). A maior positividade foi obtida no ensaio ELISA-IgM (21,4%), enquanto as técnicas de KK e HH foram as que menos denunciaram a presença da infecção (0,8%). Na comparação com a RPO, exceto a qPCR-soro, todas as outras técnicas apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante na positividade (p < 0,05) e boa acurácia (82% a 95,5%), porém baixa concordância, sendo a melhor com ELISA-IgG (Kappa=0,377) e RIFI (Kappa=0,347). Na associação entre as variáveis sociodemográficas e as técnicas diagnósticas utilizadas, observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante (p =< 0,05) entre a variável residir no bairro Santa Clara, exceto com a técnica de qPCR-soro. CONCLUSÕES: As taxas de positividade das técnicas parasitológicas ficaram muito aquém daquelas apresentadas pelas outras técnicas. Vigilância inadequada nas áreas de baixa endemicidade de esquistossomose pode resultar na transformação das mesmas em áreas de média e alta endemicidade. Este estudo apresenta uma perspectiva de controle que aponta para a possibilidade de utilização de ferramentas laboratoriais combinadas para a identificação de casos nas áreas de baixa endemicidade
